Demonstrates in a positive fashion that integrated communities can and do work. Exposes the property value fallacy and makes an appeal to reason and democratic principles. An examination of what happens in a community when a Negro family stops in front of a 'FOR SALE' sign. Dramatizes the unreason and prejudice which bar a solution to the integration problem in housing.

Takes a look at modern economics as it documents the efforts of a group of young musicians who are unable to achieve financial success. Presents basic economic concepts in the form of real-life situations. Dramatizes a real economic case by actual members of a jazz-rock music band. Depicts its struggle to break into national popularity played against the real world problems of making a profit and surviving as a group.
